Safe Haven Use Continues After Law Changes

Posted: Updated:

OMAHA (KPTM) - A 12-year-old year old boy was dropped off today as a Safe Haven at Children's Hospital.

A representative for Children's Hospital says he was dropped of at 11:11 a.m.

Friday was the last day parents could use the safe have law for children up to age 18.  After two months of children being left at Nebraska hospitals, a new Safe Haven bill was signed into law.  Gov. Dave Heineman signed the bill Friday afternoon.  It now only allows children 30 days or younger to be dropped off.

More details are not available at this time. Check back as we continue to update this story and watch the KPTM Fox 42 News at nine.
